ENFIELD — Local resident Tanya Barrett was recently elected to co-chair of the Connecticut Coalition of Reason.

At the group's annual meeting at the end of January, Barrett moved from her previous position as secretary to co-chair. Barrett is also a representative of the Connecticut Valley Atheists to the Coalition.

The Connecticut Coalition of Reason is a group of nine atheist, free-thought and humanist groups with a goal of fostering a sense of community. Additionally the group aims to "raise public awareness that people who don't believe in a god or gods can be decent citizens who contribute to the larger society," a press release read.
